Fighting against technological devices taking over one’s life “is a good fight to have, as far as I’m concerned,” he said.

The couple, who tend not to speak publicly about their relationship, will appear together on Broadway next month as an adulterous couple in Harold Pinter’s play Betrayal.

Craig, 45, will play the part of Robert, while Weisz, 43, will play his cheating wife Emma.

Craig dismissed the idea of himself and his wife as a “power couple,” however, insisting, “We just keep ourselves to ourselves.”

He also rejected the description of them as the world’s “hottest couple,” saying: “I think there are far hotter couples out there than Rachel and I - not putting Rachel down in any way, shape or form.”

Speaking of their decision to perform opposite each other on stage, he said they had wanted to do a play together for some time.

“It seemed like an obvious thing to do - if it feels stunty, it wasn’t,” he told the New York Times.

“We’re not exposing our marriage onstage.”

Weisz is Craig’s second wife after he was briefly married to the actress Fiona Loudon in his twenties.

It was hard to find love that offered “a kind of stability” that young, he suggested, adding: “It’s very hard to make it stick, especially if you’re an actor.”

Last year, Craig performed as 007 in a scene with the Queen as part of Danny Boyle’s opening ceremony for the London Olympics, an experience he described as “surreal.”

Praising the Queen’s acting skills, he said she “completely got it” and was even better than the actress Helen Mirren.

“She improvised,” he said. “She sat down at the desk and said, ‘Would you like me to pretend to be writing something?’ Took out a piece of paper. Did some business.”

He was, however, “probably a republican at heart”, he admitted.

“I probably want to abolish the monarchy deep down inside,” he said.

Despite being an accomplished performer with a string of blockbuster credits to his name, Craig admitted he was afraid of impromptu public speaking, saying: “I lose verbs.”

He also revealed he had stopped Googling himself and was far happier as a result. He had previously been kept up all night worrying about public opinion, before realising “you can’t win,” he said.
